Music is an evolution. I like the do-it-yourself mentality of grunge. Also, I would like to formally thank heaven for hip-hop. It can be noisy, rude, nonsensical and just plain bad...but it can also be artful and provide insight into lives little known otherwise.cassondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086668734268969556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545407.post-1145924304783867722006-04-24T17:18:00.000-07:002006-04-24T17:18:00.000-07:00Neil Young is a superb song writer and an accompli...Neil Young is a superb song writer and an accomplished guitarist. Check out the "Freedom" CD which has some great songs. His tasteful use of incredible amounts of distortion is particulary interesting on several songs.<BR/><BR/>That being said, being the God father of grunge is a dubious distinction at best. In my not so humble opinion grunge is responsible for the near death of rock'n roll. Nirvana's influence has been imense and unfortunate. Grunge took the balls out of rock'n and roll and created a musical generation of uncreative and uninspired whiners. Not to mention a generation of guitarists who's knowledge of the instrument doesn't go far beyond a few bar chords.<BR/><BR/>During this weakened state caused by the influence of grunge, rock'n roll began to take a back seat to the pathetic musical talents the likes of the Back Street Boys and Britney Spears. Hip hop has also been able to shove rock'n roll on the shelf...... and let's not even talk about country music.<BR/><BR/>Rock'n roll has always been at its best when it is edgy and inspired driven by the force of the band and their talents. Unfortunately grunge typically meets none of these requirements. Unless of course you like repetious droning that goes on and on and on and.....<BR/><BR/>But of course this is just my not so humble opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
